This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 26 August 2015.
The cost of the tower is about $7.4 million and it consists of 15,000 pieces. It was inaugurated last week, but will begin operation of collecting data only later in the year.
It has been constructed deep in the Uatuma nature reserve, 350 kilometers (217 miles) from the city of Manaus and is reachable only after hours of rough roads and a boat ride. Obviously, the ATTO is remote and a joy for the climate scientists because, that way, it would be possible to collect pure data.
The Max Planck Institute of Chemistry is partnering with Brazilian research agency Inpa on the German-Brazilian funded project.
